yellow ground colour, a broad pale grey band on the outer margin, in which 

 between the veins is a series of pale yellow conical spots with their bases near 

 the outer margin. 



Fcwah'. Upperside with the dark apical area on the anterior wings more 

 extended than in the male. The posterior wings are bordered by a dark grey 

 band, widest at the apex and narrowing to the lowest median nervule, where it 

 becomes obsolete. 



On the underside the disco-cellular nervules on the anterior wings are not 

 marked with grey ; otherwise the wings are as in the male.

Very close to D. Geraldina, but in the female of D. Weiskei the black marginal border of 

 the posterior wings does not extend round them as is the case in that sex of D. Gfraldina.

3Icde. Upperside. Anterior wings white, with the bright orange colour 

 of the miderside showing faintly through the wings, the apical third is black, 

 the inner edge of the black area (which extends from the costa, at one-third 

 from the apex to the outer angle) more regular tlian usual, slightly curved, and 

 irrorated by white scales, costa rather narrowly black. Posterior wings white, 

 with an outer-marginal black band, the inner edge of which is indented at the 

 ends of the veins and diffused. 



Underside. Anterior wings bright orange with the apical third black, 

 curved on its inner edge, which is well defined ; towards the apex are four 

 yellow spots ; the uppermost is sub-ovate, the second rather truncate out- 

 wardly, the third narrowly lunulate, under which, close to the outer margin, 

 is a fourth small and round spot. 



Posterior wings black, with a large yellowish white space which extends 

 over the upper central portion of the wings (but not reaching the costa) and the 

 outer half of the cell ; halfway between this space and the base are two 

 crimson spots, the upper spot, which is situate in the interspace above the 

 subcostal nervure, is subquadrate and crowned with a silvery white streak ; 

 the lower spot is in the interspace between the lowest median nervule and tlie
